A Lion was sleeping peaceful, when he was awakened by a mouse, who spent running over his face. With a fast attack he grabbed him and was ready to kill him, it begged the Mouse:

-Please, if you let me go, I'm sure one day he could repay his kindness. Laughing because he thought the idea ridiculous, anyway, he decided to release it.

Shortly after, the Lion fell in a trap set by hunters. Attached to the ground, bound by strong cords, could not even move.

The Mouse, hearing his roar, came and gnawed the ropes to let him free. Then he said:

-You laughed at the idea that I would never be able to help you. I never expected to receive from me any favors in exchange for yours! But now he knows that even a small mouse is capable of returning a favor to a powerful Lion.

Moral of the story - The little friends may prove the best and most loyal allies.

FOX AND
THE STORK

The fox and the stork kept good relations
and friends seemed to be sincere. One day the
fox invited the stork to dinner and, for fun, put on
the table just a shallow dish containing a
little soup. For her it was all very easy, but
the Stork could only wet the tip of the
bill and walked away hungry.

-Sorry, said the fox, it seems you did not like the soup.

-Do not think about it, replied the stork. I hope that
in return for this visit, you will soon have dinner with me.

The next day, Fox was paying a visit. When seated at
the table, which had for dinner was contained in a
jar tall, long neck and narrow mouth, where the
fox could not enter the nose. All she did
was lick the outside of the jar.

-Do not apologize for the dinner, said the stork, so
you feel in your own stomach what I felt yesterday.

Moral of the story - Who hurts with iron, with
iron will be hurt.
